Pours light copper color with white head. Aromas of citrus fruits and Belgian yeast. Citrus fruits, dough and spice flavors. Medium body with average carbonation.

Bomber courtesy of alexsdad06. Pours crystal medium gold with a one finger off-white head that results in nice lacing. The nose is fresh citrus, floral hops and caramel. The taste is sweet citrus, toffee, grapefruit and light pine. Not much spice detected but that’s fine with me. Medium mouthfeel. Tasty stuff. Thanks again Brad!

22 oz. bottle via trade with smith4498 - Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a one finger thick off white head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is pine and herbal hops. Flavor is pine and floral hops with some lightly sweetened malt. Slight lingering hop finish. Medium body. A very nice beer. Thanks Jason.

Bobmer. Pours a cloudy gold with a thick white head, Aroma pears bananas other fruit and mustiness. Taste - initial sweetness trails with smooth soft fruit finishes with hoppy bite that tingles no spice like the label promises. Good hop flavor no bitter dryness. Tastes better than the numbers add up to not great but solid

Bomber. Pours golden with a huge frothy slightly beige head. Fruity aroma, peaches, pears, banana, apricots, some hops, some syrupy sweetness, a little mustiness, but the fruit is the star of the aroma- Belgian yeast? The flavor is , well, unique. Very sweet malt profile, the hops really start shining midway, balancing the malt. As with the aroma, there is a mustiness in the flavor, but not too much to be bad. The hops are active in my mouth, but all the while there is residual sweetness, especially on the tip of my tongue. The hops seem to influence flavor far more than bitterness, in my opinion it tastes more like a Belgian IPA rather than Belgian DIPA. Im not getting much spice in this either considering Belgian style. Unique, solid, but not my favorite, considering how great Mean Manalishi is, this could have been spectacular(Karen). Not bad, but not great, it’s pretty good(Debbie).

bottle poured a light amber in color with a one finger white foamy head. aroma has sweet fruit, apricot, medium hops, and some nice belgian yeast. the mouth feel is thin and there is average carbonation. flavor has a bit more bitterness, resins, citrus peel, fruit, belgian yeast, and caramel sweetness. I thought this was well done combining the belgian thing with a nice ipa.

Thanks jdubfl for the share. Pours slightly hazy yellow-gold with a white head. Nose is malt, honey, peach, apricot, hops, and an extra bit of sweetness. Some peppery yeastiness, and a great malt-backed beer. Enjoyable Belgian IIPA, somewhat reminiscent of Urthel Hop-It.

Cloudy golden pour with a thick head. The nose is really great. Light citrusy hoppiness with apricot, rich Belgian spiciness and a nice mix of clovey yeast and spicy/citrusy hops. Brightly spicy with a lot of lemon/grapefruit and some tropical pineapple/mango character. Really tasty brew with a nice mix of zesty spiciness and mango fruitiness.
